My aim is to offer insights into some of the more subtle principles underpinning prints. The commentary is based on thirty-eight years of teaching and the prints and other collectables that I am focusing on are those which I have acquired over the years.
In the galleries of prints (accessed by clicking the links immediately below) I am also adding fresh images offered for sale. If you get lost in the maze of links, simply click the "home" button to return to the blog discussions.

shows like a crown and in the centre a unified grown protruding small antlers
was shot in the royal Farther Pomeranian Mühlenbeck forest hunting ground = the
No. 2. in Anterior Pomerania in the high noble Stoltzenburg Heath in the year
1767. But the one with antlers standing up and down No. 3. shot several years
